Who doesn’t love a warm dinner roll? This keto bread is soft, easy to make and extremely versatile! Add different seeds or spices to create every time a different combination of flavours: this is a quite basic recipe with just salt and black sesame seeds but why not try them with pumpkin seeds, turmeric or paprika? Another interesting combination for anyone who loves spicy food would be chopped jalapenos and cheese!
These keto-friendly dinner rolls hold together so well that you would not believe they are grain-free! The consistency is quite dense but you can work on this factor by using really fine almond flour. This recipe calls for ground almonds because it’s a widely available option: you can buy them or even easily make the exact amount that you need at home with a blender; but if what you are looking for is an extra soft dinner roll, almond flour would be the best choice (even better than almond meal). By using almonds and hazelnuts to make bread, you would always have a sort of grainy texture but the more the starting point is finely ground, the better.
If you don’t like hazelnuts or if you can’t find them, this bread will turn out delicious even without them but they do contribute to the characteristic nutty flavour of this recipe, so it’s worth adjusting the taste by using some spices like black pepper, nutmeg and cumin.
Almonds are not just a delicious snack and a great ingredient for keto bread, they also are rich in nutrients. They are indeed a great source of healthy fats, protein, vitamin E, magnesium and several other vitamins and minerals. So, by using this bread recipe, you won’t just bring on your table something tasty but you’ll also ensure that it will be a nutritious and satisfying dinner.
